Today is the final day of Fashion Week in New York City and I have got to enjoy watching a lot of Sunil’s posts, from the shows, events, and most of all the clothes.
Fashion Week is a chance for fashion designers, brands or “houses” to display their latest collections in runway shows to buyers and the media. Most importantly, these events let the industry know what’s “in” and what’s “out” for the season.
There are many fashion weeks worldwide. In 1943, the first New York Fashion Week was held, with one main purpose: to distract attention from French fashion during World War II, when workers in the fashion industry were unable to travel to Paris. This was an opportune moment, as “before World War II, American designers were thought to be reliant on French couture for inspiration.”
The fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert organized an event she called “Press Week” to showcase American designers for fashion journalists, who had previously ignored their works. Press Week was a success, and, as a result, magazines like Vogue (which were normally filled with French designs) began to feature more and more American innovations. Until 1994, shows were held in different locations, such as hotels, or lofts. Eventually, after a structural accident at a Michael Kors show, the event moved to Bryant Park, behind the New York Public Library, where it remained until 2010, when the shows relocated to Lincoln Center (according to wikipedia)
Shows typically last approximately 10 minutes and unfortunately you are unable to purchase tickets to these events. You must be involved in the fashion industry as an editor, blogger, designer, makeup artist, stylist etc. Many shows, also referred to as “presentations,” only feature models standing around on pedestals. There is no runway, just people standing around socializing and taking pictures.
Let me share some of the images Sunil posted last week and his comments. #sunilstyles
